Seahawks: Free agent costs exploding, which is bad news for Seattle

Holy Inflation Batman!

Before you ask, that is not a joke about the Patriots and properly inflated footballs. No, I’m talking about costs, specifically the cost required sign NFL free agents. Those costs are exploding, which will make it difficult for Seattle to find the offensive tackle they desperately need.

We all laughed when the 49ers signed Earl Mitchell to a four year, $16 million contract last week. That’s crazy money for a backup nose tackle, or so we thought.

Next up was the Carolina Panther and backup DE Mario Addison. They agreed to a 3 year, $22.
